Purple Vine wanted to live and was willing to do anything in order to be spared. She was desperate, and even though she didn't show this desperation on her face or in her voice, the two nascent soul cultivators could still tell that she was desperate.
Lady Evergreen didn't reply to the question. She just waved her hand at Purple Vine. This caused a wave of spiritual energy to erupt from her and sweep through Purple Vine's body.
The wave of spiritual energy didn't kill her. But it severed the connection between her body and soul. So she lost consciousness and slumped to the ground like a puppet whose strings were cut.
After doing this, she pulled Purple Vine's body over and held it in her hand.
As she did so, she said, "Don't worry. You will live. You just won't like how you live."
Then she said to the patriarch of the Purple Flower sect, "Good choice giving her up. I didn't even ask yet. It seems you're as smart as you say you are."
